Chapter 367: Breaking off an Engagement

It had been three days since they entered the Qingyun Yaori Tower.

The trip to the Qingyun Yaori Tower made Chen Zhan and Lei Xiao finally truly admit that based on Ye Mo’s current strength, he would not necessarily lose if he matched up against them.

Xuan Ji sub-league conference hall.

“Auntie, are we really going to the Chen Family?”

Ye Mo was in quite a predicament. The head of the Chen Family was Chen Yihan, the Kingdom Stabilizing Marshal, a figure of great authority. Chen Yihan and Ye Qing were sworn brothers. Chen’s strength was slightly weaker than that of Ye Qing, but the both of them still ventured out of the Tianwu Kingdom together, participating in the Door of Desolation test.

Ye Qing failed while Chen Yihan retreated with severe injuries. After returning to the Tianwu Kingdom, he advanced his training further, and was given the title of Kingdom Stabilizing Marshal by the Emperor, and put in charge of protecting the kingdom’s borders.

“Not “we”, but you. Your father used to be sworn brothers with Chen Yihan, which is why you and Yan Zhi had an engagement agreement on paper. Who would’ve thought that things would unfold like this? I still have some matters to attend to and will not be able to join you. So you will have to head to the Chen Family alone and clear things up.”

Nodding her head, Xuan Ji rubbed her glowing forehead and said, “You don’t know of Chen Yihan’s bull-like temper. He is already furious now. This marriage agreement means that you and Yan Zhi are bound together forever. With something like this happening to the two of you, the possibility of matchmaking you two together is no longer present. If you don’t clear things up with him, I’m afraid that guy will come all the way to the Qingyun League.”

Saying that, Xuan Ji frowned as well, rather worried about Ye Mo’s trip to the Chen Family.

“Then, does Chen Yihan know about what happened to my father?”

With both of them participating in battle together, Ye Mo guessed that this Chen Yihan person might have some inside information of what went down.

“I’ve asked him about it before, but he refused to say even a word.”

Xuan Ji shook her head.

Ye Mo shrugged his shoulders and said, “Alright then, I will go. I’ll treat this as some leisure time before the start of the league war!”

“This is my token. With it, you can enter the Sky Wolf Mountain Range without any obstruction. Chen Yihan will also come out and meet you.” As she spoke, Xuan Ji tossed a token towards Ye Mo.

There was a picture of a golden phoenix under the token. Without hesitation, Ye Mo kept it. Leaving the Xuan Ji sub-league, Ye Mo immediately headed towards the Firecloud Pavilion.

After learning that Ye Mo was fine, Chuchu had long wanted to see Ye Mo. However, Ye Mo had been spending the past few days in the Xuan Ji sub-league, forming good relations with the elders of the sub-league and cultivating seals for the league as well. Naturally, he could not afford the time. Rushing towards the Firecloud Pavilion, Yun Chuchu was already waiting outside, as if expecting Ye Mo’s return. Upon seeing Ye Mo, she pounced on him.

“Brother Mo, you big baddie. It has been so long since you came to see me, do you not want me anymore?” Yun Chuchu held Ye Mo’s arm, refusing to let go.

Ye Mo asked, “How is that possible? Didn’t I come here to see you immediately after I’m free? By the way, where is Elder Yun?”

“Grandpa is currently helping you look after the Sky Blood Spear. See, my grandfather is so nice to you.”

Sticking out her tongue, Yun Chuchu said, “At this point, it looks like the combination process of the Sky Blood Spear is reaching a crucial stage. The combination of two spiritual weapons has never been seen before in the Tianwu Kingdom. Furthermore, your Sky Blood Spear used to be a deity-like presence. Grandpa said that if we are lucky, a successful combination will directly turn the weapon into a bejewelled weapon.”

“What? Straight to the level of a bejewelled weapon?”

Hearing that, Ye Mo was shaken. Bejewelled weapons were of an even higher tier than spiritual weapons.

Chuchu continued speaking, “Yes, that’s what Grandpa said. Furthermore, he also mentioned that he will try to finish the combination process before the start of the league war.”

“Finishing the combination process before the league war?”

Ye Mo’s eyes brightened, a plan forming in his heart. If the Sky Blood Spear was going to be ready before the start of the league war, the chances of victory in the league war were higher. He was confident of obtaining that Cosmos Qi.

Ye Mo said, “If that’s the case, then I’ll have to take my leave first. I still have some things to attend to and will need to leave the Qingyun League. I should be able to rush back before the league war.”

“Where are you going? I want to go too!” Chuchu immediately said. She had just made a breakthrough in training, her strength reaching the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm. The boredom of training was almost driving her mad. Now that Ye Mo was going out, she was naturally not going to let go of the chance.

“I suggest you don’t follow; I have something important to attend to.”

If he brought Chuchu to the Chen Family to terminate the marriage agreement, what would the Chen Family think of Chuchu? Bringing her was a no-go. However, looking at her glistening pair of eyes, tears welling up and about to stream down, Ye Mo was completely defeated.

Carrying the Devil Firecloud Sword on his back with Yun Chuchu as his partner, they headed towards the north to the Sky Wolf Mountain Range. Chen Yihan’s marshal residence was not inside of a city, but within the Sky Wolf Mountain Range.

The Sky Wolf Mountain Range was extremely wide with a complicated geographical shape. It was not only useful for the Chen Family soldiers to carry out military demonstrations, it was also a good place to train the soldiers. Many fighters who did not enter the three leagues would consider joining the military. Under the Chen Family military, one’s future was bright if they performed well.

The Chen Family army was sending a talent of their own for the upcoming league war as well. To be able to represent the Heaven’s Wall City meant that the soldiers of the Chen Family still had a chance to rise to the top as well. After all, most of the fighters in the Chen Family were eliminated from the three leagues.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Two shadows weaved through the forest and disappeared.

When Yun Chuchu heard of Ye Mo’s purpose of this trip, she looked at Ye Mo in surprise, her eyes immediately widened. “Brother Mo, you said that you are here to call off an engagement with the Chen Family?”

“Not calling off, but a mutual discussion to cancel this agreement.” Ye Mo explained.

It would be of significant embarrassment to the Chen Family if it really was a calling off of the engagement.

“Oh, you’re referring to that Chen Yanzhi. She’s not bad either, and furthermore, she’s the daughter of Marshal Chen. If you take this stepping stone, your future will be limitless.” Yun Chuchu said.

“Is that so? Let’s head back then!” Giving off a weird laugh, Ye Mo suddenly stopped in his tracks, landing on top of a giant mountain peak.

“You, hmph!” Yun Chuchu was joking with him. Hearing Ye Mo’s words, she immediately looked away, pretending to be angry.

“Brother Mo, look, there are people below the mountain range!”

Just as Yun Chuchu looked the other way, she saw from the corner of her eye that the mountain valley was filled with people marching forward. Those people were all clad in military attire with seven-metre long spears in hand, looking extremely deadly.

At a glance, there was at least thousands of them. Looking over, Ye Mo saw that the leading general was sitting atop a giant mammoth. This giant mammoth had already reached the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm in terms of strength. Born huge and naturally strong, even Energy Shaping Ninth Realm fighters would be crushed into bits under its foot. The aura of the general in charge of the soldiers was already significantly stronger by sitting atop the beast.

“Brother Mo, looks like that’s the Chen Family army returning to camp!”

The direction where the batch of soldiers were headed towards was the inner parts of the Sky Wolf Mountain Range.

“There is another batch of Chen Family soldiers on the opposite side!”

Yun Chuchu immediately pointed afar. There was another huge batch of soldiers there, with the two groups of soldiers marching towards each other.

With the ‘Chen’ word displayed on their flag, it was evident that the other batch of soldiers were from the Chen Family as well. Furthermore, the general in charge of the army was none other than his so-called fiancée, the one who had plotted against him multiple times for Ye Changsheng, and the one who almost cost him his life – Chen Yanzhi.

Below her feet, Chen Yanzhi was stepping on a Lightning Bird, a beast already in the initial stage of the True Energy Realm.

“Chen Yanzhi’s talent for seal techniques is way too strong. Her beast-control seal techniques have already reached the third level, allowing her to directly control True Energy Realm beasts.” Ye Mo felt a chill inside his heart.

“Brother Mo, it looks like these two armies are going to fight for real.”

Detecting the great tension between the two armies, Yun Chuchu felt like this was not a demonstration. The hostility shared between the two sides was as if the two batches of soldiers were really going to war with each other.

“Kill!”

A single command echoed around the whole of the Sky Wolf Mountain Range.

The two sides of the Chen Family soldiers each let out a roar, their voices overlapping and giving off a frightening aura. The surrounding mountain ranges and big trees instantly collapsed.

Boom!

Watching on, Ye Mo’s blood was pumping through his veins in excitement. This was a true battle between the two armies. Compared to this, the huge battle between the Freedom Valley and the Frozen Palace that he had experienced in the past was nothing more than child’s play.
